Simple way to count the Elapsed Time from one slide to another

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:09:55 GMT

Hi, I know there are quite a few posts and materials about this one but.. I can't get it right.

I read a lot and also did what an expert in that domain - Lilybiri - has proposed in her several blogs about the matter.

Actually, what I am looking for is an extremely simple thing. I use captivate 7. I have a project with 15 slides. The first 5 are with instructions about the asignment (we dont care about them for the timer). The last 10 are with the assignment itself. What I need is to count the time spent from Slide 6 to Slide 15. Tried the timer widget - it does not stop at slide 15 + it's looks cannot be customised. Also tried advanced actions and cpInfoElapsed... variable - apparently I am not that good to figure it out. The idea is to be able to tell the learner - you spent XX time to complete this assignment.

Would really appreciate a hand please.

Thank you in advance

Bobby

Reporting Likert scale and actualy any other question type in Analyzer

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:31:11 GMT

Hey there, I would like to have meaningful analysis with the Quiz Results Analyzer.

Here is what I need. I am afraid I don't see the answer to my problem with the Quiz Results Analyzer.

Lets keep it simple and picture this scenario. I use Captivate 7, I have one question in a Quiz, I report with an Internal Server. The question is Likert scale survey question. Lets say it is the following:

Do you agree that smoking is harmful

- Absolutely Yes

- Somewhat Yes

- Don't Know

- Somewhat No

- Absolutely Not

I have 10 respondents. They send their results. When I export the xml file and load it in Analyzer, there is no way to see an overview of what number of people chose the first answer, the second, etc.
I can certainly go and check them one by one, but there is no way of getting a simple graphic for instance or even a csv file with the distribution of responses. I have seen some ideas to do that with a Multiple Choice Question instead. I try that too, but again there is no way I can go to the Analyzer and export data that would show the distribution of responses. What I am looking for is something as simple as

- Absolutely Yes: 2 answers

- Somewhat Yes: 3 answers

- Don't Know: 1 answer

- Somewhat No: 1 answer

- Absolutely Not: 3 answers

It is simple statistics really, but one can only export stats like how many people responded, how many passed or not and stuff like that. The meaningful statistic in any Likert scale is to see the %-age of people who chose the different answers. Is there any other way of orgnanising that or any other program that I could use to produce meaningful stats, please?

Thank you in advance for your ideas.

Results from Quiz taken on iPad cannot be loaded in Quiz Analyzer (Captivate 7)

Hi there, I have several quizes that are designed to be taken on a computer. The resutls are gathered on an internal server. I can then download the results - the xml files - and they can be seen in the Quiz Results Analyzer. So far so good.

I have exported the same quizes as HTML5 projects and they work on iPads. I have also received quiz results from people who have taken the quiz on an iPad. I can download the xml files with the iPad results.

Now, here is the issue. When I try to load these xml files in the Quiz Analyzer they would just not load. I checked the xml files and the structure is slightly different.

This is an example of the xml file produced from iPad

<Course>

    <CompanyName value='Company'/>

    <DepartmentName value='Client'/>

    <CourseName value='Module1'/>

    <LearnerName value='Name'/>

    <LearnerID value='email@address.com'/>

    <LessonName value='Client Module 1 - Test'></LessonName>

    <QuizAttempts value='1'></QuizAttempts>

    <TotalQuestions value='11'></TotalQuestions>

    <Result><CoreData><Status value='passed'></Status>

    <Location value='12'></Location>

    <RawScore value='90'></RawScore>

    <MaxScore value='100'></MaxScore>

    <MinScore value='0'></MinScore>

    <SessionTime value='undefined'></SessionTime>

    </CoreData>

and this is the same part when the xml file is generated after the quiz has been taken on a computer.

<Course>

<CompanyName value="Company"/>

<DepartmentName value="Client"/>

<CourseName value="Module1"/>

<LearnerName value="Name"/>

<LearnerID value="email@address.com"/>

<LessonName value="Client Module 1 - Test"/>

<QuizAttempts value="1"/>

<TotalQuestions value="11"/>

<Variables>

    <Text_Entry_Box_1 value=""/>

    <Text_Entry_Box_2 value=""/>

    <Text_Entry_Box_3 value=""/>

</Variables>

<Result>

    <CoreData>

      <Status value="passed"/>

      <Location value="12"/>

      <Score value="90"/>

      <SessionTime value="00:03:38"/>

    </CoreData>

It is clear that the xml code is different and I supose that is why the Quiz Analyzer can read the second version but not the first version (the ipad one).

I must say that the test for the ipad was absolutely the same as the one for the computer. I just rescaled it to fit the iPad..

Is there anyone else with the same problem? This is a real issue since people use a lot ipads.

Thank you so much in advance
